  Gary Farrell wines never disappoint. This is a very good wine. Initial impressions from the glass are fresh red fruits balanced with a subtle woodsy character. There are also lovely floral notes about it. The high acidity is balanced by the intensity of the fruit so you aren't left with the sensation of "thin-ness". The tannins are smooth and silky and it has a long. pleasurable finish. It is drinking very well now but can age gracefully for another few years. This is an elegant wine.

  Decent Pinot but fruit is pretty austere. I think it is approaching the end of its best drinking.

  still very young, nice fruit but overpowered by acids and tannins. Decanted and left to sit for an hour or two it would be drinking quite nicely.
